Frequently Asked Questions - DMR-ES15EBL PANASONIC

How do I start recording a TV program?

Insert a recordable disc, press [CH] to select the channel, press [REC MODE] to choose the quality (XP/SP/LP/EP/FR), then press [REC]. To stop, press [STOP]. For more details, see Recording television programmes section.

Can I play recorded discs on other DVD players?

Yes, but you must finalize the disc first. After finalization, the disc becomes play-only and can be used in compatible DVD players. Note that DVD-RAM discs cannot be finalized and are only playable on DVD-RAM compatible devices.

What types of discs can I use for recording?

You can use DVD-RAM (with cartridge recommended), DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW (VR or Video mode), +R, +R DL, and +RW. Each type has specific recording formats and limitations. Refer to the Disc information table in the manual.

How do I set a timer recording using VIDEO Plus+?

Press [VIDEO Plus+], enter the PlusCode number from TV listings, then press [ENTER]. Confirm or adjust the program details, then press [ENTER] again. Ensure a recordable disc is inserted and the unit is in standby for automatic recording.

How should I connect the DVD recorder to my TV?

Use a fully wired 21-pin SCART cable for best quality and Q Link functions. Alternatively, you can use component video (Y/Pb/Pr), S-Video, or composite video cables. Always use the supplied RF coaxial leads to connect the aerial. See Connection section.

What should I do if the disc is dirty or has condensation?

Wipe the disc gently with a soft, damp cloth and then dry it. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. For the unit's lens, use a dedicated DVD lens cleaner (RP-CL720E) once a year.

Why won't my inserted disc play?

Possible reasons: the disc is incompatible (e.g., region code mismatch, wrong format), the disc is dirty or scratched, the disc is not finalized for DVD-Video playback, or the unit's laser lens needs cleaning. Check the Disc information and Troubleshooting guide.

How do I adjust the TV aspect ratio?

Go to the Setup menu: press [FUNCTIONS], select 'To Others' > 'Setup' > 'Connection' > 'TV Aspect'. Choose '16:9' for widescreen TVs or '4:3' (Letterbox or Pan&Scan) for standard TVs. Press [ENTER] to confirm.

What is EXT LINK and how do I use it?

EXT LINK allows timer recordings from an external device (like a Sky box) connected to the AV2 SCART input. Set the external device's timer, press [EXT LINK] on the remote to activate standby ('EXT-L' on display). Recording starts/stops automatically based on the external signal.

How can I reset the unit to factory settings?

In the Setup menu, select 'Others' > 'Shipping Condition' and confirm. This resets all settings, including channels and Owner ID, to factory defaults. Note that recorded content on discs is not affected.

Note

• This unit uses variable bit rate (VBR) recording which varies the amount of data recorded to suit the images, so actual recording times and remaining recording times shown by the unit will be different. (The difference will be especially noticeable with DVD-R DL and +R DL.) Use a disc with plenty of remaining time to be sure.
• When recording to DVD-RAM using EP (8Hours) mode, play may not be possible on DVD players that are compatible with DVD-RAM. In this case use EP (6Hours) mode.

FR (Flexible Recording)

The unit automatically selects a recording rate between XP and EP (8Hours) that will enable the recordings to fit in the remaining disc space with the best possible recording quality.
- You can use FR mode in timer recordings (→ page 20, 21, step 3) and Flexible Recording (→ page 19).

Using FR mode is convenient in these kind of situations

• When the amount of free space on the disc makes selecting an appropriate recording mode difficult
• When you want to record a long programme with the best picture quality possible

e.g., Recording a 90 minutes programme to disc

If you select XP mode
The programme will not fit one disc.

If you select SP mode

The programme will fit one disc.

If you select FR mode

The programme will fit one disc perfectly.

Bitstream

This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Component video output

Component signal outputs the colour difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colours. If the television is compatible with progressive output, a high quality picture can be output because this unit's component video output terminal outputs a progressive output signal.

CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media)

CPRM is technology used to protect broadcasts that are allowed to be recorded only once. Such broadcasts can be recorded only with CPRM compatible recorders and discs.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

Down-mixing

This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on some discs into two channels for stereo output. It is useful when you want to listen to the 5.1-channel audio recorded on DVDs through your television's speakers. Some discs prohibit down-mixing and this unit can then only output the front two channels.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs. Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between the loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at low volumes but still hear dialog clearly.

Film and video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. This unit can determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable method of progressive output.

Film:

Recorded at 25 frames per second (PAL discs) or 24 frames per second (NTSC discs). (NTSC discs recorded at 30 frames per second as well.) Generally appropriate for motion picture films. Video:

Recorded at 25 frames/50 fields per second (PAL discs) or 30 frames/60 fields per second (NTSC discs). Generally appropriate for TV drama programmes or animation.

Finalize

A process that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R etc. possible on equipment that can play such media. You can finalize DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), +R or +R DL on this unit.

After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer record or edit. However, finalized DVD-RW can be formatted to become recordable.

Formatting

Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM recordable on recording equipment.

You can format DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video format), +R, +R DL or +RW on this unit.

When you use a new DVD-RW, +R, +R DL or +RW, it must be formatted.

Formatting deletes irrevocably all contents.

Frames and fields

Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.

Frame Field Field

• A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but picture quality is generally better.
• A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but there is no blurring.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour still pictures. If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras etc., the data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. The feature of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of compression.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality. You can play MP3 you have recorded onto DVD-R, CD-R and CD-RW.

Pan & Scan/Letterbox

In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be viewed on a widescreen television (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often don't fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) televisions. Two styles of picture, "Pan & Scan" and "Letterbox", deal with this problem.

Pan & Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen.

Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the picture so the picture itself appears in an aspect ratio of 16:9.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus.

(This unit is compatible with version 2.0 and 1.1.)

Progressive/Interlace

The PAL video signal standard has 625 (or 576) interlaced (i) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning, called 625p (or 576p), uses twice the number of scan lines. For the NTSC standard, these are called 525i (or 480i) and 525p (or 480p) respectively.

Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video recorded on media such as DVD-Video.

Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.

Panasonic televisions with 625 (576)/50i · 50p, 525 (480)/60i · 60p input terminals are progressive compatible.

Protection

You can prevent accidental deletion by setting writing protection or deletion protection.

RGB

This refers to the three primary colours of light, red (R), green (G), and blue (B) and also the method of producing video that uses them. By dividing the video signal into the three colours for transmission, noise is reduced for even higher quality images.

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analogue signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.

Thumbnail

This refers to a miniature representation of a picture used to display multiple pictures in the form of a list.

TIFF (Tag Image File Format)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour still pictures. A common format for storing high quality images on digital cameras and other devices.
